Labrusca Emilia Lambrusco Rosso

Dark, near black purple with dark magenta mousse. Black grapes on the nose; confirmed on the fizzy, medium palate with ash and fine, dusty tannins. Frizzante bubbles and medium acidity make this an excellent choice for casual red wine fare. Lasagna is its natural pair, but a great match for pizza, chicken parm, or brunch with beef. Drink it when you buy it, of course.

Giving this another chance. Dense, dark purple like Ribena in color. Grape juice, yeast and wet cardboard notes in nose. Fizzy fruit seed flavors, but nice seed tannin finish. Moderate skin tannin emerges after an hour. I’ve been pairing dark chocolates with Lambrusco since someone showed me it could be done. Also worth drinking once summer returns. Fresh, light fun

True Lambrusco dark grape crisp

Blind I would have said rose champagne. Nice and very yeasty, but not what I want from a Lambrusco.

So much fun, great pizza wine !

Sweet fruit smell, maybe melon? A bit too sweet

15 March 2018. Butterfunk Kitchen, Brooklyn, NY.

Fresh blackberries, blueberry jam, bubble gum, white pepper, slight clove. Compact short fizzy bubbles, light bodied, low acid, fruity slightly herbal finish. Perfect sparkler for the last sunny day in PDX. Addio estate!

Very dry and refreshing. People need to start drinking more Lambrusco.

Sparkling berries, great acidity level, dry
